The segfault was a symptom of messing with the absolute section next
field, confusing bfd_section_removed_from_list in linker.c:fix_syms.
That's not all that was going wrong. The INSERT list of output
sections was being inserted into itself, ie. lost from the main
list of linker statements.

When we merged the GDB vector register support we did it a bit early,
just eating the risk in the very unlikely case that the vector register
names changed. They didn't, so we can now remove the caveat in the docs
that they might.
I noticed that the --disable-gdbmi option was broken for almost a year
(since 740b42ceb7c "gdb/python/mi: create MI commands using python").
The problem today is the python/py-cmd.c file. It is included in the
build if Python support is enabled, and it calls into some MI functions
(e.g. insert_mi_cmd_entry). If MI support is disabled, we get some
undefined symbols like:
mold: error: undefined symbol: insert_mi_cmd_entry(std::unique_ptr<mi_command, std::default_delete<mi_command> >)
>>> referenced by py-micmd.c
>>> python/py-micmd.o:(micmdpy_install_command(micmdpy_object*))
The python/py-cmd.c file should be included in the build if both Python
and MI support are enabled. It is not a case we support today, but it
could be done with a bit more configure code. However, I think we
should just remove the --disable-gdbmi option, and just include MI
support unconditionally.
Tom Tromey proposed a while ago to remove this option, but it ended
staying:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20180628172132.28843-1-tom@tromey.com/
However, there was no strong opposition to remove it. The argument was
just "bah, it doesn't hurt anybody".
But given today's case, I would rather remove complexity rather than add
some. I couldn't find anybody caring deeply for that option, and it's
not like MI adds any external dependency. It's just a bit more code.
Removing the option will not break anybody using --disable-gdbmi (it can
be found in many build scripts [1]), since we don't flag invalid
configure flags.
So, remove the option from configure.ac, and adjust Makefile.in
accordingly to always include the MI objects in the build.

The gdb_assert proc under-quotes the expression that is passed in.
This leads to weird code in a couple of spots that tries to
compensate:
gdb_assert {{$all_regs eq $completed_regs}} ...
The fix is to add a bit of quoting when evaluating the expression.
Commit 18b4d0736bc5 ("gdb: initial support for ROCm platform (AMDGPU)

* dwarf2.c (comp_unit_contains_address): Renamed to ... (comp_unit_may_contain_address): this,
and added code to return true if the CU's ranges have not yet been computed.
(_bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line_with_alt): Use the renamed function, simplifying code in the process.
Instead of only testing this on systems that have a SYS_time syscall,
test it everywhere using the time(2) C function, and in addition, run
the tests again using the SYS_time syscall.
The C variant ensures that if some platform uses some syscall we are
not aware of yet, we'll still exercise it, and likely fail, at which
point we should teach GDB about the syscall.
The explicit syscall variant is useful on platforms where the C
function does not call a syscall at all by default, e.g., on some
systems the C time function wraps an implementation provided by the
vDSO.

Just like we suppress emitting REX.W for e.g. MOV from/to segment
register, there's also no need for it for LAR and LSL - these can only
ever return 32-bit values and hence always zero-extend their results
anyway.
While there also drop the redundant Word from the first operand of
the second template each - this is already implied by Reg16.
In 64-bit mode BT can have REX.W or a data size prefix dropped in
certain cases. Outside of 64-bit mode all 4 insns can have the data
size prefix dropped in certain cases.
Commit f9c36cc99518 changed (and renamed) read_section_stabs with one
difference in overall behaviour. Previously read_section_stabs would
return a NULL for an empty section, which was then treated the same as
a missing section. Now an empty section is recognized and dumped.
This leads to NULL stabp and stabs_end in print_section_stabs. Since
stabs_end - STABSIZE is then a pointer to a very large address, the
test "stabp < stabs_end - STABSIZE" succeeds.
* objdump.c (print_section_stabs): Correct STABSIZE comparison.
A while back I discovered that this does not issue an error:

'gdb --configuration' does not mention if GDB was built with curses.
Since b5075fb68d4 (Rename to allow_tui_tests, 2023-01-08) it does show
--enable-tui (or --disable-tui), but one might want to know if GDB was
built with curses independently of the availability of the TUI.
Since configure.ac uses AC_SEARCH_LIBS to check for the curses library,
we do not get an automatically defined HAVE_LIBCURSES symbol in
config.in. We do have symbols defined by AC_CHECK_HEADERS
(HAVE_CURSES_H, etc.) but it would be cumbersome to use those in
print_gdb_configuration because we would have to check for all 6 symbols
corresponding the 6 headers listed. This would also increase the
maintenance burden if support for other variations of curses are added.
Instead, define 'HAVE_LIBCURSES' ourselves by adding an
'action-if-found' argument to AC_SEARCH_LIBS, and use it in
print_gdb_configuration.
While at it, remove the condition on 'ac_cv_search_waddstr' and set
'curses_found' directly in 'action-if-found'.

When dealing with case insensitive file systems, ".file line.s" and

file systems.

At the moment GDB only handles pointer authentication (pauth) for userspace
addresses and if we're debugging a Linux-hosted program.
The Linux Kernel can be configured to use pauth instructions for some
additional security hardening, but GDB doesn't handle this well.
To overcome this limitation, GDB needs a couple things:
1 - The target needs to advertise pauth support.
2 - The hook to remove non-address bits from a pointer needs to be registered
in aarch64-tdep.c as opposed to aarch64-linux-tdep.c.
There is a patch for QEMU that addresses the first point, and it makes
QEMU's gdbstub expose a couple more pauth mask registers, so overall we will
have up to 4 pauth masks (2 masks or 4 masks):
pauth_dmask
pauth_cmask
pauth_dmask_high
pauth_cmask_high
pauth_dmask and pauth_cmask are the masks used to remove pauth signatures
from userspace addresses. pauth_dmask_high and pauth_cmask_high masks are used
to remove pauth signatures from kernel addresses.
The second point is easily addressed by moving code around.
When debugging a Linux Kernel built with pauth with an unpatched GDB, we get
the following backtrace:
#0 __fput (file=0xffff0000c17a6400) at /repos/linux/fs/file_table.c:296
